Associations Between Family Nutrition and Physical Activity, Food Security, and Childhood Obesity in Rural Oregon

Creator:: Jackson, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: Childhood obesity and food insecurity are public health issues that often coexist, and both conditions are more prevalent among rural compared to non-rural populations. Social ecological prevention efforts are recommended, yet limited research has examined how rural family-home environments may influence obesity-preventing and -promoting behaviors. The purpose of this dissertation...
